Show Dog Nashville

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Show Dog Nashville is a country music record label launched in 2005 by singer-songwriter superstar Toby Keith. The label is part of a joint venture between Toby Keith and former Dreamworks executive Scott Borchetta who operates the Big Machine Records imprint.

Current artists signed to the Show Dog and Big Machine labels include Toby Keith, his long-time friend, co-writer, and touring partner Scotty Emerick, Rebecca Lynn Howard, Lindsey Haun and duo Rushlow-Harris on the Show Dog roster. Jack Ingram, Danielle Peck, Jimmy Wayne, and Taylor Swift are associated with the Big Machine Records side of the enterprise.

Show Dog's first single release was Toby Keith's Big Blue Note from his Honkytonk University album. The single made history by charting at number 35 on the Radio and Records chart, the highest ever first week rank from a new label's release. The label's first studio album release was Toby Keith's 2006 album White Trash with Money. Jack Ingram yielded the venture's first number one hit single with "Wherever You Are."

Show Dog is based in Nashville, TN. Its records are distributed by Universal.
